cool cool I guess people just like flicking through the work quickly, which seems a shame seeing how talking to the artist could be very inspiring and neat and seeing how that's a feature of deviant art I'm surprised not more people use it:/ ... (maybe they are all shy)
hope you don't mind me asking but how long have you been in this field for? I've just finished uni, and as such I don't really know what I'm doing at least in terms of doing more then a couple of commissions here and there. I was just wondering if you had been in a similar position?
Anyhow I look forward to seeing more of your work and take care man!

I've been working professionally for two and a half years. Before that I was an English major who drew in my off time. Personally, I think working independently is the best. But if you're a team player, I would put together a kick ass portfolio and start applying at AAA-list companies, like any other job. If you're not a team player, like me, then I would stick to small projects that give you more control. What I like about working with only 1 or 2 people is that it forces you to become a jack of all trades. Because you don't have a UI graphic artist, YOU will have to learn to do it. Same with everything else. I only look for ppl to perform jobs I can't do myself, like animation and polish/cover art. That's where the money is for artists like yourself. You can charge $400 for covers, or charge per concept.

Get on LinkedIn and begin promoting yourself, dude. You can also type "Game Studios hiring" in Google and see what it draws up.

Hope this helps some!
